AW: Wedding Gift Quilt Complete - PIP!

I've been working on this for the past few weeks.  It's the Greatest Hits pattern from Oh Fransson's Mixtape Quilts II pattern set.  It came out to 68" x 70" after washing.

I made it with Kate Spain's Fandango line with Kona Snow for sashing and Expresso for the binding. 

It's absolutely not perfect (at all) but I love it and would like to keep it for myself.  I'm certain the bride-to be will love it as well since we picked out the fabric together.

Thank you so much ladies for your help!  I don't know if I would have finished this on time without you!

    Wow! How close did you quilt those lines? 1/4in? It looks beautiful!

    It's 1/2" and I clearly hate myself.  I really love the fully quilted texture though especially now that it is all wrinkled up after washing.  

    I figured with the tighter quilting it was less likely to fall apart with use.

  • I love these colors.  It looks wonderful!
